My Friend Ellen posted this picture from her yard. A big Black King snake eating a Copperhead snake...

Yesterday, I was driving down a street in Richmond (VA) and saw this amazing flag draped across the street in a residential area. It was HUGE - and beautiful. Here is a link that might be useful: Flag etiquette

I spent the weekend with my 3 sisters and their families for Thanksgiving. This is my nephew and his girlfriend (he just started university and she is in her last year of high school).

My friend David sent these to me today -- baby pictures for Mason and his brother, Kilroy. Unfortunately, Kilroy died last week, and David was going through some pictures. In the first one, Mason is lying down. In this one, Mason is on the left. It's amazing to think that Mason, now 100 lbs, was ever that small. Kilroy was even larger, topping out at nearly 150.
